In a glittering career studded with three world titles and an Olympic gold, this is the one major tournament she has never won. The HSBC BWF World Tour Finals is the final frontier for Carolina Marin, but the Spaniard admitted that she has dialled down her expectations this time due to her recurrent knee problems.
“I haven’t won this in my career, but I accept that I’m not at 100 per cent, not even close to 100 per cent,” said the world No.5, after an efficient 21-18 21-10 result over Beiwen Zhang in her first Group B match.
“But this is how I am right now. I have to be more focussed on every rally. I wanted to enjoy on court and keep improving my game.”
